We need more startups, funding and pro-business policies in traditionally blue-collar industries!

The sad truth is most in the BP community believe the horrible deal with favorable seller financing where zero out of pocket is required is a better real estate play than the great deal that requires traditional financing.

You will probably lose a month of rent if you choose a Section 8 tenant ready to move in now versus a traditional tenant ready to move in now.

Bankers are not allowed to charge points on traditional loans so you save money in closing costs and end up with a lower rate.

@Moises Silva- if you purchase next one as a rental - getting traditional financing should be best route to take ..you will need min of  15% down 

@Nayeem Khan @Jason Bott - any ideas if these policies are more or less expensive than more traditional homeowners policies?

They also sold them on a mix of traditional sale and held notes on some.

Both options let you buy properties without needing traditional financing.

Both can be powerful tools for investors, especially when you’re looking to maximize cash flow and returns.Since most lenders have a minimum loan requirement of $75K, you might want to explore hard money lenders.These lenders specialize in funding investment properties, even for amounts below traditional lending thresholds.

I would use a property manager to manage them as I only have experience with traditional rental properties.I would love opinions from investors who actually use the Section 8 program and those who do not.What is your opinion on which one is better long term and brings in more cash flow now.I appreciate any information.
